Introduction (1) Agreement on a global indicator framework for monitoring progress towards achieving SDGs reached on 11 March 2016 Framework proposed by the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on SDG indicators (IAEG-SDGs) to the UN Statistical Commission, hosted by the Statistics Division of the UNDESA Needs to be adopted by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in June 2016 and the General Assembly in September 2016 ILO Department of Statistics 3
Introduction (2) Issues of data disaggregation (Leaving no one behind): Sustainable Development Goal indicators should be disaggregated, where relevant, by income, sex, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability and geographic location, or other characteristics, in accordance with the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics. (Report of the IAEG-SDGs on SDGs Indicators, Para. 26). ILO Department of Statistics 4
Monitoring and Reporting National, regional and global level High-level political forum (HLPF) has been formed, which will be informed by an annual progress report on the SDGs prepared in cooperation with the UN system, based on the global indicator framework The forum will have the central role in overseeing follow-up and review It will also conduct national reviews starting with 22 in July 2016, which are voluntary and driven by countries Regional commissions to contribute to the regional reviews Detailed mechanisms still being discussed ILO Department of Statistics 5
Decent Work Agenda in SDGs (1) Decent Work Agenda has a specific Goal 8 on Decent work and economic growth (Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all); BUT NOT JUST IN GOAL 8 Also enshrined in some other 7 SDGs Goals such as Goal 1 (No Poverty), Goal 4 (Quality Education), Goal 5 (Gender Equality), Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities), Goal 14 (Life Below Water), and Goal 16 (Peace and Justice).

Decent Work Agenda in SDGs (2) Many of the SDGs connect to the ILO s mandate and the four pillars of the Decent Work Agenda. Social protection, including national floors, is a target (1.3) for action under the poverty goal and is mentioned together with wage and fiscal policies as an important means of reducing inequality (10.4). In addition, the targets on eradication of extreme poverty (1.1) and reduction of poverty (1.2) will require ILO engagement and follow up. Technical and vocational skills are the topic of three targets under the education goal (4.3, 4.4 and 4.5). (GB.325/INS/6, Paragraph 10). ILO Department of Statistics 8

Decent Work Agenda in SDGs (4) The current proposal on the Global Indicators Framework for monitoring progress towards achieving SDGs, as recently agreed by the UN Statistical Commission during its 47th Session in New York (11 th March), includes some 37 decent work related SDGs indicators (in a total of about 252), spread into 30 of the 169 Targets; The 3 rd Meeting of the IAEG-SDGs (30 March to 1 April 2016 in Mexico City) has proposed ILO as the custodian of 13 SDGs indicators; Reporting will require member States to update or put in place comprehensive measurement of all elements of decent work (through LMIS) to effectively contribute to SDGs monitoring.

Implications on decent work data Decent work results framework (DWCP M&E to include clear results reflecting ILO and constituents valuable contribution to SDGs); Filling the data gaps (19 th ICLS implementation, other data gaps: IE, CL, OSH, migration, etc.); Capacity building (involving all ILO constituents and other relevant stakeholders); Resources; Revised indicators in the ILO DWI framework. ILO Department of Statistics 26
Discussions Questions for discussions; referring to your country: What is the coordination mechanism, if any exists, to oversee SDGs monitoring, and what is the implication for the ILO (constituents)? Is there any ongoing gathering of SDGs indicators, including those relevant to decent work? What can we do (ILO and constituents) to ensure ILO s contribution is reflected in national SDGs monitoring processes? ILO Department of Statistics 27
Group work per country Consider the 13 main SDGs indicators for which ILO is proposed as the custodian; Please review your existing national development/ SDGs monitoring framework(s), and assess which ones of these indicators are already considered as priority indicators for data gathering and dissemination at national level; If the group is informed: which ones are currently disseminated, and with which disaggregation variables.
